A rally next to the Freedom monument

Mindaugas Kavaliauskas: It was a rally to support the Act of March 11 and show our unity against Yedinstvo which was preparing to reciprocate to this and other rallies organising events on May 9 (04 04 1990). The weather on that day was great. The photo was taken from a cube bas-relief on which we were sitting with Gintaras (Česonis) after lessons, having descended the hill.
At the beginning, to get there, you had to push around a bit, because there were a lot of people taking photos and a lot of people wanted to have a good look at this. But once up, the sight of the crowd has hypnotized me. After taking photos, I sat there and watched everything. The look of Lenin did not bother us anymore. (2015)
